Ricardo Filgueira

Ricardo class is very good. He knows all the details about portugues grammar, vocabulary and expressions, and is very good at transmiting that knowledge.

I started lessons with Ricardo two months ago as a complete beginner and it has been great. His lessons are very interactive and multi-faceted (grammar, vocab, oral comprehension, “real life” vs. formal Portuguese, pronunciation tips, PDF material/lessons and audio recordings via e-mail) and there are a lot of opportunities to practice during the lesson. He also explains really well the small nuances in pronunciation– for me, this was one of the most intimidating parts of learning Portuguese, but now I feel comfortable with reading (slowly) and when listening, I can decipher how a word might be spelled, which helps a lot with comprehension. Ricardo obviously has a lot of experience and passion for teaching, and I’m really impressed with the course and with the fact that he seems to constantly be updating and creating material. Thanks Ricardo!

Great first lesson with Ricardo! He took the time to correct any mistakes I made, offered advice on pronunciation, and spoke at a level I could understand! Excited and motivated for future lessons :)

After spending the last 2 years across the platform learning Spanish and recently starting Portuguese, having tried out around 50 tutors. I can honestly say Ricardos methods are great and I would recommend him to anyone starting out learning Portuguese. Excited to continue my journey with him.

I have had over 40 classes with Ricardo, and he is a super dedicated Portuguese tutor. The content is amazing, and he is really patient. He tailors the lessons to fit my learning style and needs, all while keeping things fun. I totally recommend him and the online courses he has created!

I enjoyed my trial class with Ricardo. We had a good conversation about Brazilian geography especially the culture. It is was so much fun learning something new. Plus, he gave me the link for a great website for verb conjugation!
